Written answers

Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin)

I wish to inform the Deputy that discussions are on-going with the school authorities of Scoil Pádraig, Athy in relation to a possible rationalisation/re-configuration of primary educational facilities in the area concerned. I can assure the Deputy that the Department will take every step to ensure that the discussions referred to will be concluded as quickly as possible so that a solution can be applied to the accommodation needs of the school in question.
